It will come to you. Great article, phantasmagoric pictures.
I'm struggling to understand what I'm doing with my picture-taking device; part of me suspects that I take pictures in order to avoid writing, but there's probably more to it than that; I mean, I've been doing it a long time. I remember my first Kodak Instamatic - $10 was a lot of money for a little kid. (Second grade, I think, so I was what, seven?) "Something something light" would be a good description of the conversation I have with myself when I'm taking pictures. (Also, "Pan, hold still!") I'm not a candidate for giving a TED talk anytime soon, which is probably a good thing; those headset microphones look so stupid.
Oh, hey, while I'm snippeting, I'd like to recommend The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot. There's some serious mojo in that book.
I don't think you're avoiding writing. I think your photography is like writing. Does that make sense? I get more from most of your pictures than I do from conversations with....most....people.
ReplyDeleteWell, if a picture is worth a thousand words, there are at least a couple novels here. Once Upon a Time in Round Rock...
DeleteInteresting article--from one trekking into unusual places. I like your photos because they
ReplyDeletegive a new vision to things near and often unobserved.
Yeah--do the Once upon a time in Round Rock--beauty unseen and missed whilst there all along.
but yeah maybe that's it, been too busy seein' it - i try not to miss the beauty parts lol
Deleteand--I agree with Sandi
ReplyDeleteyour photography is like poetry...truly inspiring!
ReplyDeleteHeh. Apparently I write a lot of poems about dogs. (And oddy enough, I just put a book of dog poetry on my Amazon wish list. So that's like a real thing!)
DeleteEverybody (well, mostly) likes reading/seeing about dogs. Man's best friend and all.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you have photos to go with those poems. or poems to go with those photos.
Mostly limericks. "There once was a critter named Pan/..."
Deletethose are hard to do
